Elon Musk: I regret my posts on Trump

X owner Elon Musk says he regrets some of the posts he made last week about United States President Donald Trump.

Musk said some of the posts went “too far”.

Trump and Musk began exchanging insults last week on social media, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing the president’s sweeping tax and spending bill as a “disgusting abomination.”

Trump declared on Saturday their relationship was over but has since said that he would not have a problem if Musk called and wished him well.

“I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far,” Musk wrote in a post on X on Wednesday, June 11, 2025.

He did not say which specific posts he was talking about.

Tesla shares in Frankfurt were up 2.44% after Musk’s post.

Since the dispute began, Musk has deleted some social media posts critical of Trump, including one signalling support for impeaching the president.

Sources close to Elon Musk told Reuters his anger has started to subside, and that they believe he may want to repair his relationship with Trump.
